Controlling Mold – A Necessity Considering Health

Healthy

4 Dec

Everything around us deteriorates with time, how living beings die, things break, and elements corrode. Rust attacks iron, patina attacks copper, and tarnish attacks silver. One such corrosive agent that is found commonly in buildings and homes is mold. It grows in places where there is a lot of moisture. These places can be windows, roofs, pipes, or around leaks. So to protect these places, mold abatement becomes necessary. Abatement means the removal or lessening of something. Molds can grow indoors as well as outdoors and have different methods for abatement depending upon the situation mold contamination is a serious issue that can cause many physical and financial problems.

Molds Affecting People’s Health:

Not all molds affect health, but many of them do. Exposure to that damp environment can cause diverse health issues. Encountering these types of molds can show these symptoms:-

• Stuffy nose

• Wheezing

• Redness in eyes

• Itchy skin

Some people that are allergic to molds or suffering from asthma might encounter some intense results. These reactions can include fever and shortness of breath. Cladosporium, Fusarium, Alternaria, and Penicillium are some of the most dangerous types of molds, and if allowed to colonize in the home, it can prove to be fatal. The Black Mold, commonly recognized as the most deadly of all the mold species, produces mycotoxins. These mycotoxins are toxic to humans if consumed, inhaled, or touched. The Black Mold or Stachybotrys appears black and velvety or slimy, found in areas exposed to standing water for a long time.

Keeping Out Mold From Homes:

Open doorways, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems acting as a pathway in homes can help molds enter and attach themselves with the things. Mold abatement is an integral part, and to start with it, one must know how to clean that fungus from each surface of one’s home. The main task is to remove it before it expands and grows into a bigger problem. One can start by:-

• Opening the windows and keeping the bathroom fan on while taking a shower to prevent the growth.

• Controlling humidity levels between 30% and 50%–all day long.

• Promptly mending leaky roofs, windows, and pipes

• Completely wiping and drying after flooding

• Ventilating shower, clothes, and cookery areas.

Mold On Exterior Of Home:

One thing that strikes the brain is that an outside attack of the fungus doesn’t affect the health but the way the property looks. But this is not the scenario as the outside fungus doesn’t always stay outside.

For example, the fungal attack on a roof can soon find a way to the attic. Mold on the exterior homes not only destroys building material and structures but also carries health risks. Though risks aren’t that hazardous as interior growth, spending time outdoors can make you prone to those risks involved.

Fungal growth around play areas for children is especially disastrous as they are susceptible to mold-related health problems. The presence of these microorganisms brings down the value of the property and brings risk to health. Hence, it is pivotal to get aware of the day to day measures that one can implement to prevent mold action. Also, contacting companies that expertise in mold abatement in a home can be a solution to ensure a safe and clean stay without health hazards.
